La MARTRE, 25 ans sous avis d'ébullition de l'eau - 27 février CBC rapporte que le coût d'un nouveau réseau de distribution, dont la construction est prévue ce printemps, sera élevé pour cette petite communauté d'environ 200 habitants. Outre les frais de raccordement et les augmentations de taxes foncières, certains résidents devront également financer des fouilles archéologiques commandées par le ministère de la Culture. Le coût des fouilles archéologiques (sur des terrains privés) est estimé à 506 468 $. Cette somme serait répartie entre les propriétaires fonciers dont les terrains sont susceptibles de contenir des artefacts. Ce site archéologique est estimé à 10 000 ans.
C'est l'un des nombreux obstacles auxquels la municipalité est confrontée pour fournir de l'eau potable à ses résidents ; un avis d'ébullition de l'eau est en vigueur depuis le 24 août 2000 en raison de nombreuses fuites dans son réseau de distribution d'eau vétuste. Le coût total du projet est estimé à plus de 12 millions de dollars.
La MARTRE, 25 yrs under a BWA – February 27 CBC reports that the cost of a new distribution system, that is scheduled to begin this spring, will be steep for the small community of approximately 200 residents. In addition to having to pay for connections and property tax increases, some residents will also have to pay for archaeological digs commissioned by the Ministry of Culture. The cost of archaeological excavations (on private land) is estimated at $506,468. This amount would be distributed among the landowners whose land has been identified as likely to contain artifacts. This archaeological site is estimated to be 10,000 years old.
This is one of many obstacles the Municipality has faced in trying to provide potable drinking water to their residents; a BWA has been in effect since August 24, 2000 due to numerous leaks in its dilapidated water distribution system. The total cost of the project is estimated at more than $12 million.
